SUMMARY:LES DÉLICES
DESCRIPTION:Moonlit Mozart\n\n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDespite their rarity today\, wind octets\, also known as Harmoniemusik\, were a relatively common ensemble in central Europe in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. More nimble than a full orchestra\, these ensembles performed nocturnesand serenades\, dance music\, or even operatic or symphonic reductions. An ensemble of eight woodwinds could cover most\, if not all\, bases. Soaring melodies were often split between first oboe and first clarinet\, while inner parts were covered by other winds and horns. Bassoons would alternate between tenor solos and bustling bass lines\, and a double bass often provided reinforcement on the low end.The music of Mozart can be revelatory\, particularly when combined with the signature transparency and rhythmic verve of period instruments. Artistic Director Debra Nagy has assembled North America’s finest period-instrument woodwindplayers for this all-Mozart program including selections from The Magic Flute and Don Giovanni\, plus Mozart’s transcendent Serenade in C minor “Nachtmusik” (K388) for pairs of oboes\, clarinets\, bassoons\, and natural horns.

SUMMARY:GABRIEL SMALLWOOD\, harpsichord
DESCRIPTION:Juvenilia: Music by J. S. Bach\n\n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMaking his San Diego debut\, Gabriel Smallwood presents a program built as a conversation across generations: works by Bach set directly against the composers who formed him as a young musician—Dietrich Buxtehude\, Georg Böhm\, Christian Ritter\, and Johann Adam Reincken. In Smallwood’s words\, it’s “a dialogue between student and teacher\,” an unusually vivid way to hear exactly what Bach absorbed\, and what he transformed\, on his way to becoming the towering figure we know today.

SUMMARY:LA FONTE MUSICA
DESCRIPTION:The Rise of European Music\n\n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis intriguing and exciting program borrows the title of an important essay by the musicologist Reinhard Strohm\, “The Rise of European Music. 1380–1500.” Focusing on these pivotal years in Western music\, La Fonte Musica will tell the fascinating story of national traditions and schools of Ars Nova developing into a European and international music\, thanks in part to the Council of Constance (1414–1417)\, which allowed English\, Flemish\, Italian\, and northern and southern French musicians to meet and learn from each other.Don’t miss your chance to experience the shawm\, recorders\, dulcian\, lute\, trombone\, and voices of La Fonte Musica\, and the rarely perfomed music by Johannes Ciconia\, Matteo da Peruggia\, John Dunstaple\, John Plummer\, Guillaume Du Fay\, and others.

SUMMARY:MARK EDWARDS\, harpsichord
DESCRIPTION:The Art of the Toccata\n\n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMark Edwards makes his San Diego debut with an all-Bach program that continues a thread running through this season: the young Bach\, before he became an institution. Alongside the famous keyboard toccatas that are bold\, free\, and almost theatrical works that show Bach testing the limits of the form\, Edwards includes lesser-known early keyboard pieces that reveal a composer still finding his voice.

SUMMARY:THE ROYAL WIND MUSIC
DESCRIPTION:Lamentation and Celebration\n\n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe eleven members of The Royal Wind Music\, performing on an astonishing collection of Renaissance recorders from tiny sopraninos to a nearly three-meter-long sub-contrabass\, will present a captivating program that highlights the irresistibly memorable melodies of the Renaissance by composers such as Josquin de Prez\, Jean de Castro\, Cristóbal Morales\, Michael Praetorius\, Nicolas Gombert\, Eustache Du Caurroy and Girolamo Frescobaldi\, alongside a contemporary composition by Raivis Misjun.Step into the world of Renaissance music\, where the vibrant exchange of melodies spanned courts and churches across Europe.
